CPCSC Roadmap and Remediation in Calgary
Plurilock provides CPCSC remediation services to help Calgary defense contractors prepare for the Canadian Department of National Defence's mandatory CPCSC Level 1 certification launching summer 2026.
Plurilock's CPCSC compliance roadmap services guide organizations through NIST SP 800-171 implementation and ITSG-33 controls to achieve certification requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.
Understanding Your CPCSC Compliance Journey
Calgary's defense sector faces a critical deadline as CPCSC Level 1 becomes mandatory for all contractors working with Canadian National Defence starting in 2026.
We help organizations map their current security posture against CPCSC requirements, identifying gaps and creating actionable remediation plans that align with your operational realities.
- Comprehensive security posture assessments against CPCSC Level 1 standards
- Gap analysis identifying control deficiencies requiring immediate attention
- Customized roadmaps balancing compliance timelines with budget constraints
- CPCSC POA&M remediation planning for documented security weaknesses
- Priority-based implementation schedules addressing highest-risk gaps first
NIST SP 800-171 Implementation Services
The CPCSC framework builds upon NIST SP 800-171 requirements, demanding rigorous technical controls across fourteen security families including access control and incident response.
Our CPCSC compliance consultant team implements these controls systematically, ensuring your systems meet both current security needs and future certification requirements effectively.
- Complete NIST SP 800-171 control implementation across all domains
- Access control systems protecting controlled unclassified information properly
- Incident response capabilities meeting Department of National Defence standards
- Security assessment procedures validating control effectiveness through testing
- Documentation packages supporting certification audit and review processes
ITSG-33 Controls Implementation for Calgary Contractors
Canadian cybersecurity requirements extend beyond NIST frameworks to include ITSG-33 controls specific to government contractors working with sensitive information systems.
We implement these controls alongside NIST requirements, creating integrated security programs that satisfy both frameworks without duplicating effort or inflating compliance costs.
- ITSG-33 security control baseline implementation for government systems
- Control overlay mapping between NIST and Canadian frameworks
- Risk management processes aligned with Treasury Board requirements
- Security categorization determining appropriate control sets for systems
- Continuous monitoring establishing ongoing compliance verification capabilities
POA&M Development and Remediation Management
Organizations rarely achieve perfect compliance immediately. Plans of Action and Milestones document identified weaknesses and establish realistic remediation timelines that auditors accept.
Our CPCSC POA&M remediation services create defensible documentation while systematically addressing security gaps, maintaining compliance momentum throughout your certification journey.
- Detailed POA&M documentation meeting Department of National Defence format
- Risk-based prioritization focusing resources on highest-impact security gaps
- Milestone tracking ensuring remediation progress stays on certification schedule
- Alternative control documentation for technically infeasible standard implementations
- Audit-ready evidence packages supporting certification review and approval
